They aren't the in thing any more, but I still find them as valuable if not more valuable than web 2.0 social connections. Rob I agree. I have met a lot of great people through sites like Twitter, but there's yet to be that level of interaction you can achieve through forums. One lesson I'll add is to listen to the community. Forums are an excellent source for research. From marketing to ideas for your next blog post. Another is lesson would be to join forums on different topics. At least one where industry peers gather and one where your market gathers. Adam I think you know how I feel about forums.

What truly astounds me that there are still quite a lot of user groups out there subsisting on listservs rather than migrating to far more functional and easier to use forums.
